Rams throw interceptions on back to back plays haha. Titans up 14-3
Not sure I’ve ever seen that before. Two consecutive pick sixes
First one wasn't a pick six. Got stopped a couple yards out and then Tannehill passed to the TE for the touchdown. Regardless, crazy scenes
Ah gotcha. Was checking on my cat. Titans scored so quickly assumed it was off the interception

It's probable that it's never happened, and you'd think Google would find it. A little back-of-the-envelope math with a lot of rounding to keep things easy suggests that the odds are against it ever having happened.
Odds of observing a pick six in an NFL game: 11%
To make the math easy, assume 100 plays per game, and that they're all throws (we'll adjust for that later). That leaves the odds of any given throw being a pick six at 0.0011, and the odds of consecutive plays being a pick six as 0.0011 squared, or 0.00000121.
There's a hundred opportunities to kick off the pick six chain (actually 99, but whatever) in this setup, so the odds of observing consecutive pick sixes in a game are .000121.
That's about 1/8000 games. The NFL has been plus or minus 30 teams for the last few decades, playing a sixteen game schedule. That leaves 16*15 = 240 regular season games (it's actually 256 today), and if we add ten or so playoff games to the 240 estimate for regular season games we get 250 games a year. So it would take thirty-two years to expect to observe consecutive pick-sixes in a game, if all plays were pass attempts.
In practice, the league is about 60/40 pass/run, which means that only about 1/3 of all pairs of consecutive plays will both be passes. So now we're talking ninety-six years, and if we start accounting for the history of a league which had fewer teams that passed the ball less often in the past, the odds of having seen consecutive pick-sixes get even longer.
Was a very good day for the Cardinals in the end, moving into no.1 seed.
From what I can see, 5 of the NFC play off places are already taken - Rams, Cards, Packers, Cowboys, Tampa. The other 2 are wide open.
AFC is totally wide open. I don't see any team who currently looks as good as the top 3 or 4 in NFC. Maybe the Titans, but I think missing Henry will hurt a lot in the play offs.
I'm just hoping that Green Bay can get Rodgers back on the field and a lot of the injuries back. Even with a QB who struggled for 3.5 period, they were competitive the whole game. Missed field goals, special teams turnovers were the difference. You can't make basic errors when you have a young lad on debut.

Saints are most likely the 6 seed although they're a step down from the other five.
AFC I feel pretty confident that the Titans, Ravens and Bills are going to be playoff teams. But any of about 10 could win the conference in the end.
I'm just posting this here. Watch NFL history. We got next to nothing, but we got this.
Worth the trip to YT. Trust me. It's all about Josh Allen. He had a very bad/good day.

Gutted with that, and I'm not a Bears fan. But that was atrocious officiating....probably the worst I have ever seen.
Fields might just be the real deal....if they can protect him in the pocket more.

Yeh horrendously bad officiating and corrente has form.
Fields looking good even with some of most inept coaches in the league
Can someone with more knowledge of the game explain to me why certain players are ineligible receivers? I know there is a limit on how many you can have but why?

Miami's Robert Hunt scores amazing disallowed TD
Miami Dolphins guard Robert Hunt looked spectacular on his illegal-touching touchdown against Baltimore in the fourth quarter.
Not sure the exact reason, but I think it would just be too chaotic if all the linemen could go out for a pass. I think the number of eligible receivers is 6.Can someone with more knowledge of the game explain to me why certain players are ineligible receivers?

As an aside, I played flag football in university and one of our best plays was Amit the Comet. My friend Amit who was quite heavy but nimble on his feet would hike the ball and then tear ass down the field ?.
